Synopsis

Bing and Bong encounter four very lazy and sleepy Flockers, along with a mysterious crate. Upon investigation, the two find that the crate contains gymnastic equipment, of which they quickly take advantage. The Flockers try to copy them, but they soon loose interest and fall asleep. Bing and Bong take it upon themselves to train these Flockers and get them into good shape. It is a slow process, but eventually the Flockers can outrun even Bing. As the Flockers perform feats of gymnastics before a Flocker audience, Bing, exhausted from trying to train the Flockers, naps peacefully as Bong prepares to bring them home.
